QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“The current immigration system is categorically unfair. People must argue their cases against trained government prosecutors before politicized immigration courts... Even for attorneys, the U.S. immigration system is exasperatingly complex. No one should be forced to tackle something so nuanced and challenging on their own, especially if English fluency is lacking. That's why every noncitizen facing removal must have the option of free legal representation. This isn't an immigration issue — it's a matter of due process and fairness. Everyone deserves equitable access to justice, no matter where they're from.”
